If you're a university researcher, get the CS department involved.
If you're in the industry, it's the same plan, but get your company to sponsor the student's pay (or their final degree, or a PhD project or two for some of the more techincally advanced/research focuesd parts of your software)
Go with Agile development, for instance SCRUM. Create a Product Backlog of all the stuff you want in your software and get it prioritized. This shouldn't take more than a few days. Hire a scrum master, or educate yourself. The product backlog is your long term plan. Don't waste time and money on waterfall and huge upfront specs, this is a project that needs to be dynamic.
Try to sign up one or two people who can act as chief architect/systems designer in the long run (say, at least a year or two) and make sure things don't get out of hand.
If you want the industry to support you, get in touch with them and ask what kind of features would be useful to them. Stuff it in the backlog, and make sure to present them with a demo once it's implemented. If this doesn't get them interested in supporting your project by developing code or providing you with resources, they weren't really interested in the first place.

You need to look into agile development practices
Improve the team, improve the code and let the customer INCREMENTALLY decide what functionality to put into their product.
The customer is never wrong - it's just that their requirements change over time and both you and the customer need to embrace and capitalize on that rather than constantly fight it and end up delivering a product that neither you or the customer are happy about.
Moving to Google Video... yeah I guess that'd help a lot. Let's centralize everything and see how well that works out for everyone.
Or wait... why was it that this P2P concept was invented again? "Distribute load" or something... difficult concept.
In keeping with his wishes to use open formats, the talk and QA are available in ogg theora only.
Fine, but why not provide this as Ogg Vorbis as an alternative and reduce the size by 95%? There's no slides, no demonstrations, nothing but Stallman talking and sipping whatever-it-is so the video content holds no value.
The system is even extra cool to musicians - the VENUE pays for the license, not the musician.
While that may be the intention, I can't see how that actually works in practice. If the coffee shop/whatever is actually paying a license I'm pretty sure they will take that into account when signing up a band. Less money for the band == the band ends up paying for it anyway (we're not talking Metallica and Madonna here which can demand more or less whatever they want...)
How could that work? You need a complete ecosystem. Anything from bacteria and other little buggers that consume dead plant material to help keep the soil fertile to bees/insects or larger animals spreading the love among flowers or eating fruit and spreading the seeds. Just planting a bunch of trees is like trying to jump-start evolution. When parts of an eco-system are removed the rest starts dying off too and will continue to do so unless the balance kan be restored.
The options are:
- start off at the low end of evolution introducing bacteria and such to the environment hoping they survive and wait a few million years for things to start happening
- create a stable atmosphere and introduce complete ecosystems that are stable enough to achieve a balance and become self sustainable
Exactly. There should be a globally accepted standardized Certificate For Proper Use of Statistics - a skill that seems to be SORELY lacking for a lot of scientists, especially in the medical community.
1. Find unexpected correlation - avoid multivariate analysis as that generally tends to cloud the big picture 2. Concoct lame theory that could possibly explain this correlation 3. Declare a clear causal relation 4. ??? 5. Profit!

2. Install whatever guest operating system you'd like: Fedora, Ubuntu, Windows...

Sadly you'll never have the option of using Adobe Illustrator as a pay-per-hour service now that MS went ahead and patented it...
450 eh? Is that in camels, intergalactic credits or Hong-Kong-dollaaah?
and in 2011 chances are that it'll be a dirt cheap 64 or 128 gig Flash SSD

Why not just buy a premade Tesla system from nVidia and avoid the heating problems?
Amazon is usually a good place to start and failing that, try Bookfinder.com
ELVIS!!!!

Try again Mark.
This is a US patent.
It doesn't apply in Canada, the EU or anywhere else outside of the land of rape and honey.
Quoting the GP: she wasn't learning from experience or coaching.
But I do agree that maybe she could be trained into performing some other important function, like some kind of QA work
And besides, the soundtrack was awesome!

The buttons were in different places but all worked well.

Nice little oxymoron there, sorely tempted to start using it as a sig

Errr, a definite no, atheist and evolutionist. That was meant as ID criticism, maybe it came out wrong.
Who's the intelligent designer?
:)
A) Dolphins
B) Space aliens
But if B) is correct, who created the space aliens?
A) Dolphins
B) Super space aliens

Makes it easier to see why this "logic" is flawed.

While I think this is a very nice effort in general, it's more or less useless as long as the included software is several years old:
OpenOffice 1.1.3
Firefox 1.0
Thunderbird 1.0
etc...
This needs to be up to date if it's to be useful.
The internet. People from all over the world. 380 million have English as their first language - 6100 million do not.

Get used to it. And if you'd like to point out mistakes in other peoples grammar, consider doing so in a more polite way.
What's the reason for linking to an out of date wikipedia article on the subject?
